Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur de fibres optiques. Ce connecteur connecte une première fibre optique et une deuxième fibre optique. Ce connecteur comprend une fiche qui retient et aligne, de manière sélective, la première fibre optique, une embase qui retient et aligne, de manière sélective, la deuxième fibre optique, et des moyens pour pousser en force la première fibre optique contre la deuxième fibre optique. La fiche du connecteur de fibres optiques est insérée dans l'embase afin de mettre en contact la première fibre optique et la deuxième fibre optique. La force créée au niveau du point de contact des fibres par les moyens de poussée excède la contrainte de flexion des fibres optiques.
